YouTube. Claudio Pizarro continues to be the talk of the town. Although he doesn't have continuity at Colonia, things can change from now until May, and if he gets in shape, he could be an alternative for Ricardo Gareca.
However, the discussion about the Bombardero's performance in the Peruvian National Team will be eternal, and recently Hernán Crespo joined the debate, who had no qualms about praising him.
In an interview with Gonzalo Núñez on radio Exitosa, the former Argentine forward hinted that Claudio Pizarro did not have the conditions to excel with the Blanquirroja.
"Peru, which qualifies suddenly, in a different context, Claudio Pizarro could have easily continued to be the team's captain and hero," said Crespo.
"[To excel with a national team] goes hand in hand with having a good generation, finding a good coach, and other situations. You can't argue about Pizarro, just as you couldn't argue about, saving the differences, Messi at one point," he added.
"It is true that the player has to deliver, but the question is: 'did we put him in the conditions to give his best?'. I repeat, it depends on the circumstances," emphasized Hernán Crespo.
The statements of the Argentine idol were published on YouTube. In this article, we leave you the video, so don't miss it.
